I’d offer 32 OA for Connolly, Sabres could use him in their locker room, especially now

I'd do that, you sir have a deal! I'll post an edited version maybe tomorrow and include that trade, thanks!

Here is a different look at Connolly trade BUF
Connolly, B + Orpik, B for Larsson, J. + Guhle, B.
Buffalo gets an on ice mentor for Dahlin and a RW, Washington gets a good face off bottom 6 center and a defensemen prospect. BTW that 32 OA is a lot better than MIN 2019 2nd.
What do you two think?

I'd rather they kept Guhle from this. Sabres are giving up more with Guhle than with 32 OA, Guhle could be traded 1 for 1 for a top 9 (young top 6 potential) forward. if they did Larsson and 32 OA for Orpik and Connolly maybe. Orpik would have to play on his off side, I dont feel he's a good fit, but it helps the Caps with their cap

Thank you for your response
So Dahlin who plays RD in Europe you will switch to LD in the NHL and then have Orpik play his off wing as well. Why not have Orpik and Dahlin play their comfortable side?
Only Oshie scored more goals among Washington's RW last year (18 v 15 with 60% more ice time than Connolly), Connolly 0.032 pt/min was also 6th among all Washington forwards, so I guess I am trading Guhle for a top 6 RW which is what you want to do.
I would rather keep the 32 over all, I trust Botterill to make a great pick as he did last year.

Hey please check out my newest Armchair team "Sabres 2018-19 Big Trades w/ CAR, MTL + Huge Carlson Deal" let me know what you think!

The more I read, the more I think he plays left, and you know I've been there with you with Dahlin playing on the right. The way play flows from the D to the forwards, and what they expect out of him, wanting him to drive the offense from the back, he may start at LD. Guhle is more valuable than 32OA, if 32OA is good enough to get Connolly, I'm not going to over spend, that only hurts the Sabres. Im not worried about a pick if your converting it into not only a top 9 forward, but a guy who will shift he culture and has winning experience. All the Sabres ACGMs have tunnel vision on getting younger with no other plans, I want to get better immediately, especially after lucking into Dahlin. They already have a ton of prospects, they need to grow them in a winning culture

I as well and that is why I included Orpik, an ancient mariner but winning attitude who steps up to play his best hockey when the it is for all of the marbles. So does Botterill, I know I have said this before, Pominville, Scandella, Wilson and Nolan each had more play off experience than Kane, Lehner, O'Reilly and Bogosian combined. DATM knew nothing about building a team and drafting. The Sabres are in good hands with Jason and the Argonauts.

I gave you an evaluation and a five star rating. nice job, good thinking out side of the box.
